Clever boy , there are stacks of old windsurfers on the market from the boom in the 1980s.
I've seen boards and rigs that would have cost $3k , selling for a few hundred.
It would be great to be able to rake the mast backwards as speed increases like we do when windsurfing.
I'll work on that one .
Thanks Et, I'll keep you posted.
